IPMI 裝置驅動程式嘗試要判定是否系統能支援 IPMI BMC 裝置。驅動程式嘗試要透過搜尋 SMBIOS 裡的 Type38 記錄來偵測是否有 IPMI BMC 的存在。但是找不到記錄或者是記錄跟裝置驅動程式的版本不相符。如果偵測到 SMBIOS Type 38 記錄，事件的傾印資料欄位會包含記錄的數位代表。

The IPMI device driver attempted to determine if the system supported an IPMI BMC device. The driver attempted to detect the presence of the IPMI BMC by searching the SMBIOS for a Type38 record. But either no record was found or the record was not compatible with the version of the device driver. If a SMBIOS Type 38 record was detected, the Dump Data field of the event contains a binary representation of the record.
